I know they are very grateful to all the MLAs who participated, and well done to TNA and the community on the day.

Community health organisations

MR HANSON (Molonglo) (12.20 am): I rise tonight to pay tribute to the many community health organisations that we have here in Canberra that many of us have interacted with over the years, and I have particularly as the shadow health minister.

The first I would like to pay tribute to is the ACT branch of the Australian Nursing Federation, Athalene Rosborough, the president, and particularly Jenny Miragaya, who has been very active and has attended many events and forums that I have held providing me with significant advice.

I thank the ACT Hepatitis Resource Centre and Mr John Didlick for the work he does. The resource centre is a community-based organisation that is committed to the prevention of hepatitis and the support of people affected by hepatitis.

I think we all understand the important role ACT Medicare Local play in our community, and I would like to thank Rashmi Sharma, the president, and Steve Sant, the CEO, for the work they do.
